hi again a little assistance regarding converting hex to PDColor.
please take this example #ff8000 and this is my code String colorStr = "#ff8000"; java.awt.Color rgb = new java.awt.Color( Integer.valueOf(colorStr.substring(1, 3), 16), Integer.valueOf(colorStr.substring(3, 5), 16), Integer.valueOf(colorStr.substring(5, 7), 16)) PDColor pdcolor = new PDColor(new float[] { rgb.getRed() / 255, rgb.getGreen() / 255, rgb.getBlue() / 255}, PDDeviceRGB.INSTANCE); the result is pink-ish (the wrong color), instead of orange-ish (the correct color).
